A Multi-physical Approach of a Sterilization System for Aseptic Food Processing
Sterilization is the process of deactivating microorganisms from a surface or a product. A high temperature gaseous mixture of hydrogen peroxide and steam became the accepted standard in most aseptic filling machines found in pharmaceutical, food and beverage industries [1, 2]. To ... Read More
Transient Vacuum and High Pressure Generation by Focused Acoustic Waves
Amplitude of acoustic waves can be magnified by conical or concave waveguides, like in ear trumpets or fjords (surface waves). The simplest way realizing a capable device is a conical waveguide with a target to be treated in the top of the cone, and a spherical actor or acoustic exciter ... Read More
Lithosphere-Scale 3D Thermal Models of the Norwegian Continental Shelf
To reveal key features of the thermal pattern at different structural levels of the Norwegian continental shelf and the adjacent mainland, the lithosphere-scale 3D structural models have been used to represent a structure of the sedimentary cover, underlying crystalline crust, and ... Read More
Design and Optimization of Power Cable Accessories Using COMSOL Multiphysics®
Power cable manufacturing is limited by the maximum length of cable that can be produced and stored on cable drums. This creates a need or rather an opportunity for a cable accessory, namely 'Cable Joints'. Joints are an impeccable component in the power cable network that necessitate ... Read More
Hydrothemal Carbonization: A Renewable Alternative to Fossil Fuels and Respective Evaluation
Humanity is faced with an imminent energy crisis. The exponential growth of the human population and the consequential increase of the required energy on a global scale, the dramatic climate change and the exhaustibility of natural resources combined, force us to strive towards a ... Read More
Simulation of Compaction in Asphaltic Mixtures, Part I: Gyratory Compactor
A very important phase in construction of a pavement structure is the compaction process of the asphaltic mixture. It reflects a complex mechanism where many parameters are influential. These parameters are associated with the initial air voids content in the asphaltic mixture, aggregate ... Read More
2-D Modeling of CO2 Electrolysis Using Gas Diffusion Electrode Operate at Neutral pH and Mild Conditions
CO2 capture and further conversion into valuable products can be a promising solution against global warming. Normally, CO2 conversion can be achieved by chemical methods, by photocatalytic and electrocatalytic reduction [1]. Specifically for electrocatalytic reduction of CO2, challenges ... Read More
Topology Optimization of a Gaseous Photoacoustic Spectroscopy Cell Using COMSOL Multiphysics®
It is known that photoacoustic spectroscopy shows the highest signal-to-noise ratio compared to other spectroscopy techniques. This is due to an orthogonal detection scheme: while exciting with light we monitor soundwaves. In gaseous phase, the use of an acoustic chamber called cell ... Read More
Impact of the Forces due to CLIQ Discharges on the New HL-LHC Beam Screen
In the framework of the high luminosity large hadron collider (HL-LHC) project, important upgrades will take place by 2024 including the installation of new superconducting magnets in which new beam screens will be placed. The beam screen is an octagonally shaped pipe inserted into the ... Read More
Modeling and Simulation of Hydrogen Generation in Membrane Reactor via Steam Octane Reforming
Various hydrocarbon compounds have been converted into pure hydrogen by using a catalyst and a palladium membrane in one reactor (PMR) in a one-step process where the reaction proceeds to almost complete conversion. Octane is converted into pure hydrogen using of a palladium membrane ... Read More
